KATE JACKSON
Kate Jackson might have started her career in 1969, but it was not until she made Charlie’s Angels in 1976 that made her all famous. The degree of her success back then brought her to a new height that she even landed on the front cover of Time with her co-stars Farrah Fawcett and Jaclyn Smith. Her luck continued, and she even won Bravo Golden Otto Award for Best Female TV star for three consecutive years in Germany for her role as Mrs. King. From here, the now-73-year-old star continued a prolific acting career on TV and in movies.
Though Jackson has yet to formally announce her retirement from the business, she was last seen in the 2007 episode of Criminal Minds and as a guest judge on Shear Genius in 2008. She has not appeared in any film or TV since 2009, though Gallery Books announced a contract with Jackson to publish her memoir in 2010 that has yet to happen.
